(Lake Mills Cleaners & Dyers news release and web pages) In response to the closing of Majestic Cleaners, Winchester True Value Hardware, 1415 W. Main Street, has established a partnership with Lake Mills Cleaners & Dyers to offer complete dry cleaning, shirt service, household items, and personal laundry service.

Pickups at True Value are on Tuesdays and Fridays, so what they pick up on Tuesday will be returned on Friday and vice versa for what they pick up on Friday.
Our Mission To “Going Green”
* Our free pick-up and delivery trucks run on LP instead of regular gasoline.
* We recycle our hangers and plastic.
* The Stoddard dry cleaning method is reclaimable through the dryers. This way it does not go out into the environment and pollute the air.
* We have introduced the new Green Garmento Bags. It allows you to save the use of plastic and instead use reusable bags. You put your dirty garments inside the bag for us to pick up, it then turns around and covers the clean garments; therefore, no need for reproducing plastic. Please contact us today if you would like to be environmentally friendly and take part in this service.
Lake Mills Cleaners and Dyers is one of the best at what we do! Each garment is pre-spotted individually before it is cleaned and checked over after it is cleaned again for any additional stains. If our spotters or pressers have any questions or concerns regarding your garments you will be contacted immediately by our professional staff to discuss possible solutions. All buttons, sequins or beads that could possibly be damaged with our cleaning processes are removed prior to cleaning. They are re-attached after cleaning by our professional tailors. Each of our presses have a hand iron and any garment requiring hand pressing is taken care of. We are one of the few dry cleaners in the area that utilizes the ‘hand iron’ to give your garment the best finished look possible. We also offer professional shirt and personal laundry services. They will be the best in town. For your shirts, we offer preference of starch and choice of your finished shirts to be put on hangers or hand folded. Personal laundry is done and priced by the pound. Table linens and napkins are washed and hand pressed so they are ready to use any time of the year. We also specialize in a number of other items such as wedding dress cleaning and preservation, leathers/suedes/furs, rug cleaning, draperies, horse blankets, and alterations! Our free pick up and delivery is a three day service; however, specialty items may take a longer time to complete.
History
Lake Mills Cleaners has a long history of dedicated customer service. Since its conception in 1938, the Tarnutzer family has owned and operated the business. Casey Tarnutzer was in the dairy business and saw an opportunity to build a family future in the dry cleaning business. In 1951 his son, Dick, joined him in the business, and it soon expanded far beyond the shores of beautiful Rock Lake. With the creative marketing concept of Free Pick Up and Delivery* the business grew to service most of the south/central Wisconsin area. Dick’s son, Lance and daughter-in-law Ellie, own and operate the business. Today, a fourth generation is in line to continue the great family tradition of customer service and satisfaction at Lake Mills Cleaners.
